The contributions included in this book delve into a range of topics that have not been commonly studied before, such as white privilege, neglect of municipal infrastructure, collaborative governance, livelihoods in small-scale fisheries, housing provision, well-being in mining towns, studentification in rural contexts, election trends, and the historical development of small-town spas. The book adopts a socio-spatial point of view, providing a holistic understanding of the interplay between social and spatial factors within selected small town case studies. This approach sheds light on the socio-economic, political, and cultural dynamics that shape small towns. This localized perspective allows for a more targeted analysis of issues and potential solutions, taking into account the specific historical, cultural, and political contexts of small town South Africa. The edited volume serves as a valuable resource for academics, policymakers, practitioners, and anyone interested in understanding and improving small towns in South Africa. 001471839 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed July 18, 2023). 001471839 650_0 $$aSmall cities$$xSocial aspects$$zSouth Africa. 001471839 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001471839 7001_ $$aDonaldson, Ronnie,$$eeditor. 001471839 830_0 $$aUrban perspectives from the global South,$$x2511-218X 001471839 852__ $$bebk 001471839 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-37142-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001471839 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1471839$$pGLOBAL_SET 001471839 980__ $$aBIB 001471839 980__ $$aEBOOK 001471839 982__ $$aEbook 001471839 983__ $$aOnline 001471839 994__ $$a92$$bISE
